And I thought the developer was just trying to slip in a message to everyone
about how he really felt about working on the code... :)

You’d be surprised (or shocked) at some of the things that have creep into the
code over the years…

I wonder what other lyrics are in the code :)... Could this explain why Oracle
keeps taking more room to install? : )

Hi.
strings oracle.exe | grep radiohead
Starting at least at 10.2.0.1, function kfasSelfTest_update() (located
in kfas.o) use Radiohead lyrics to test... something related to ASM
probably.
Schematic pseudocode:
#define STRING "I'm a creep, I'm a winner, what the hell am I doing
here.I don't belong here - radiohead"
kfasSelfTest_update()
{
kfasOpen (...);
somestruct.somevalue=STRING;
kfasUpdate (somestruct);
kfasClose (...);
newstruct=kfasOpen (...);
if (strncmp (newstruct.somevalue, STRING, ...)!=0)
{
// raise error 99999?
kserec1(99999, 1, ...);
kserec2(99999, 1, ..., STRING, 1, ...);
return 0;
};
kfasClose (...);
return 1;
};
